HOHQMesh.jl
This package is a Julia frontend to the Fortran-based High Order Hex-Quad Mesher (a.k.a. HOHQMesh) created and developed by David A. Kopriva. It augments HOHQMesh with interactive functionality that gives a user the ability to create, visualize, and generate high-order meshes. It further allows one to seamlessly integrate meshes generated by HOHQMesh into a Julia-based simulation workflow. For example, running a simulation on an unstructured quadrilateral mesh with Trixi.jl. HOHQMesh.jl is available on Linux, MacOS, and Windows.
Installation
If you have not yet installed Julia, please follow the instructions for your operating system. HOHQMesh.jl works with Julia v1.6 and above.
HOHQMesh.jl is a registered Julia package. Hence, you can install it by executing
the following commands in the Julia REPL:
julia
julia> import Pkg; Pkg.add("HOHQMesh")
HOHQMesh.jl depends on the binary distribution of the
HOHQMesh
mesh generator, which is available via the Julia package
HOHQMesh_jll.jl
and which is automatically installed as a dependency.
Usage
In the Julia REPL, you can load HOHQMesh with
julia
julia> using HOHQMesh
and then happily generate away!
Two 2D examples GingerbreadMan and NACA0012 and a 3D example Snake (all
from HOHQMesh itself) come delivered with this package. You can generate a
mesh for them by executing
```julia
julia> controlfile = joinpath(HOHQMesh.examplesdir(), "GingerbreadMan.control")
julia> output = generatemesh(controlfile)
``
You will then find the resulting output files (mesh, plot file, statistics) in
the designated output directory, which defaults toout. The
GingerbreadMan.control` file will yield the following mesh,

while the 3D file Snake.control produces this mesh:

Examples scripts of interactive mesh generation tools are available in the
examples/ subdirectory.
These example scripts are prefaced with the phrase interactive_.
There is a brief summary at the top of each interactive example script that describes
the mesh it will create and the features of HOHQMesh it uses.
An example script can be executed from a Julia REPL session with an include(...) statement, e.g.,
julia
julia> include(joinpath(HOHQMesh.examples_dir(), "interactive_outer_box_two_circles.jl"))
The resulting output mesh and plot files are saved in the output directory out as
designated in the example script. Mesh statistics are printed to the screen.
The interactive functionality uses Makie.jl
to visualize the boundary curves and mesh from the interactive tool. A Makie backend, such as
GLMakie, can
be loaded in addition to HOHQMesh
julia
julia> using Pkg; Pkg.add("GLMakie")
julia> using GLMakie
Now, running the example script produces a figure in addition to the mesh and plot
files that are saved and the output of mesh statistics to the screen.

Further explanation of the interactive functionality can be found here. Additional examples are available in the Tutorials.
